The Privett Academy is a 21st century school designed to help students gain the confidence, skills, and education necessary to achieve success in life after high school.​

Important change for the 2018-19 school year: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have had to cut back on the number of parking spaces available to us at our school. Therefore, students will not be able to drive their cars from Mercer Island High School to park at The Privett Academy this school year. The Privett Academy Van will be available to drive all students to and from Mercer Island High School. Any exceptions must be personally approved by the director.​If you need a transcript sent to colleges, please use the 'Request Transcripts' link above.
